I kept my hair buzzed to a number 2 or 3 for years before shaving it to the skin for the first time. For me, it was a huge change looking at a bald version of myself in the mirror for the first time. I liked the way it looked and felt, but I ended up letting my hair grow back after a few days. Over the next few years, I went back and forth before settling in on a daily shaving routine. I haven?t gone more than four days without shaving in over five years. I?m thinking about letting my hair grow for a couple of weeks just to see what it looks like for a change. I may not have the willpower to wait that long. We?ll see.

I want to be a tattoo model, but I only want one or to tattoos. Can tattoo modeling be a one off deal?

When I first shaved my head, it was long before it was ?normal? to do so, and I must admit I was pretty shocked at the results and had initially instant regret. It wasn?t something that I fell in love with right off the bat! 3 PM on the other hand. I enjoyed the experience immensely and thought that it looked and felt really cool And wish I would?ve kept it for a lot longer time the first time I shaved my head Over the years each time I shave my head I keep it for a longer and longer period of time. It were not for the fact that I think I look better with a little bit of hair I would keep it permanently because I find it looks and feels clean And it?s a heck of a lot easier to take care of than my Flattop Initially, I must admit that my own feelings were colored a lot by other people?s reactions. My immediate family members were very negative about it, and that made me feel really self-conscious.

I loved it from the start. As I have stated on other threads, I never really liked my hair that much and I had made up my mind that I would rather have a shaved head over a partially bald head with a fringe. I had been keeping my hair shorter and shorter over the years and was waiting for the first signs of thinning to shave it. Once I discovered the thinning starting in my crown, the razor came out and I was hooked from the first shave. And I realized I did not have to wait for thinning for the excuse to shave my head, I could have done is years earlier.

There have been lots of discussions about other people's reaction when you first went bald, but what was your reaction?Thirteen years ago I wanted to try a really short haircut. I had been trimming my own hair, so one morning I decided to give myself a buzzcut. I did about 1/4 inch all over, didn't like it , so went down to a #2, didn't like it, so I used the 0000 blade. Nothing but stubble was left, and with my white hair, I pretty much looked bald. So I got in the shower with a razor and for the first time I had a shaved head!My significant other, who was totally against a buzzcut, was in shock. I wasn't sure about being bald, and figured I would grow my hair back. Later that day my SO asked what I thought about having a shaved head, so I asked her what she thought, and she rubbed my head and said she loved it and I should keep it! After a few days, I was hooked, and 13 years later, still love it.

It was thinning. I'm scheduled for six appointments, but I might get eight or nine. Having light skin and dark hair, I am a prime candidate for lasering. I'd recommend it. Do it before you go gray. You won't regret it if you truly want baldness.

Six, I bet you look great with earrings. What type are you looking for?

How many treatments did they tell you it would take? Also, did you have a full head of hair or had male pattern baldness already started for you?

I did it. I got my scalp lasered. The burning feeling was powerful, but it was worth it. The procedure went well. I'm happy with the look of my scalp. It doesn't have any burn marks.
